Album Review: Mayday Parade - Monsters In The Closet

With album opener Ghosts easing in with vocals that meet somewhere between Fun. and Queen, the expectation is Mayday Parade's fourth record will mix things up a little. Unfortunately, and this isn't actually a bad thing if you love their sound, the rest of Monsters In The Closet, with its huge choruses and uplifting, hard-hitting vibes, sounds too similar to 2011's self-titled record.

The problem is Monsters In The Closet doesn't really present anything new, and with the market for high school-esque pop punk slowly fading, most of these songs will fall on deaf ears.
